Grant me each day the desire to do my best,
To grow mentally and morally as well as physically,
To be kind and helpful to my classmates and teachers,

Prayer
To be honest with myself as well as with others,
Help me to be a good sport and
smile when I lose
as well as when I win,
Teach me the value of true friendship
Help me always to conduct myself so as to bring credit to my
school.

Amen.
 PHYSICS
fundamental science because other natural sciences
deal with systems that obey physics laws. The
physical laws of energy, matter, and nature’s forces
govern the interactions between particles, such as
atoms and molecules. Some basic principles of
physics are:
Newton’s Laws of Motion
Gravity Theory
Work, Energy and Power
Force, Mass and Weight
Energy Conversion, Transfer and Conservation
Thermodynamics Laws
CHEMISTRY
- known as the science of matter, specifically at the micro-level.
It mainly deals with compounds and elements, and the
formation of atoms, molecules, and ions. Chemistry also studies
the composition, structure, behaviour, properties, and the
changes that compounds and elements undergo during a
reaction with other substances. The study of Chemistry mainly
includes the following:

Water and its properties

Nuclear Chemistry
Organic Chemistry
Atomic Theory
Quantum Mechanics Principle
ASTRONOMY
science of heavenly bodies and their interactions in
space. Its studies mainly entail the following:
• The origin of the universe, the most commonly
accepted scientific theory of the origin of the
universe is the Big Bang Theory.
• The Solar System, specifically Earth in the Solar
System
• The measurement of Time
• The features and composition of the Moon
• The interactions between the Moon and the Earth
• The characteristics of stars and galaxies

WHAT IS
PHYSICAL
CHEMISTRY
PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY
• is the branch of chemistry devoted to the study of
the behaviour of matter at an atomic or molecular
level. It also
• involves the study of the properties of substances
at different scales, from the macroscopic scale,
which includes particles that are visible to the
naked eye, to the subatomic scale involving
extremely small subatomic particles, such as
electrons.
01 MACROSCOPIC
SCALE
The macroscopic scale involves substances that are large enough to be
visible to the human eye (without the help of optical instruments to provide a
magnified view). Some important quantities that are dealt with on the
macroscopic scale include:

• Melting and boiling points

• The coefficient of linear thermal expansion
• Latent heat of vaporisation
• Enthalpy of fusion
02 MICROSCOPIC
SCALE
The microscopic scale deals the with properties of substances that can
only be seen by the human eye with the help of optical instruments
that magnify the substance, such as microscopes.

The study of the shapes and structures of crystals falls under this
scale. The structures of crystals have an impact on the behaviour of
large sections of the crystals, which are used in bridges and
aeroplanes.
01 MACROSCOPIC
SCALE
The macroscopic scale involves substances that are large enough to be
visible to the human eye (without the help of optical instruments to provide a
magnified view). Some important quantities that are dealt with on the
macroscopic scale include:

• Melting and boiling points

• The coefficient of linear thermal expansion
• Latent heat of vaporisation
• Enthalpy of fusion
03 THE ATOMIC
SCALE
• The properties of matter at the atomic scale vary from element to
element.
• However, some elements exhibit similar properties and are
grouped together in the periodic table.
• Some examples of the properties of matter studied in physical
chemistry at the atomic scale include atomic mass and atomic
number.
• The value of the atomic radii of elements can be used to
determine the bond length of the bond between two atoms in a
molecule.
04 THE
SUBATOMIC
• The subatomic
SCALE scale involves the study of particles that are
smaller than the size of atoms, generally referred to as subatomic
particles.
• At this scale, the dual nature of particles is the reason that
subatomic particles are sometimes referred to as waves or energy.
• The study of physical chemistry at a very advanced level involves
the study of subatomic particles.
• The study of these particles also has applications in the field of
nuclear chemistry.
